- Unreal Engine 5.6 + Bugfixes - 6 October 2025
Hi everyone! Here's another update that is both small and HUGE. And it took a bit longer than expected. Version 1.0.00581 The main purpose of this update the game from Unreal 5.5 to Unreal 5.6 for two reasons: 1- A new Google requirement (16kb page size) must be applied to all Android apps before November 1st. 2- There is a major issue with 3D UI widgets on iOS devices in UE5.5 that UE5.6 fixes. The update to UE5.6 brought its fair share of complications.. The Text 3D input plugin crashes the game and engine modifications corrupted a few files in the project. But fear not! We pushed through and were able to complete the migration successfully this morning! Outside of this engine update, this new version fixes a few important bugs. Here are the fixes: - FIXED: Transcension menu button showing the wrong page - FIXED: 'Go back to earth' button conditions to be visible were incorrect and co…

Hello beautiful souls! It's already been 4 days since the launch of LHEA and the feedback has been extremely positive! Here are a few things we prioritized in this first minor update: Added volume sliders for music & sound effects volume adjustments Added a 'Duel speed' setting (Slow or fast) for more experienced players that want to transcend the In-between quicker Fixed a bug where a realm couldn't be sealed.

- Release moved to September! - 24 July 2025
Hello everyone! We've been running a playtest on Android platform with 37 testers at the moment and are receiving extremely valuable feedback! Most of it is super positive. Some of the points are also very interesting design challenges and we already have fun ideas to address these feedbacks! Once this playtest is over, we want to wrap up all the new iterations into a second playtest, but this time for iPhones and iPad. It is important for us to simultaneous launch the game on all three platforms - and to take the time to read and address important feedback.Therefore we are taking an extra month to finish up the 1.0 version of LHEA! We are aiming for September 22nd at the moment. Only two months away! Stay tuned for a lot more updates in the upcoming weeks - things are moving quite fast!Jo @ Soul Fuel Games
